snail is, in loose terms, a shelled gastropod. The name is most often applied to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name snail is also used for most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also numerous species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are often called semi-slugs.Snails have considerable human relevance, including as food items, as pests, and as vectors of disease, and their shells are used as decorative objects and are incorporated into jewelry.The snail has also had some cultural significance, tending to be associated with lethargy. The snail has also been used as a figure of speech: someone who is not moving fast enough is "slow as a snail." The snail is the same or similar shape as the Cochlea.

The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster polder was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

«Prendere possesso dello spazio è il primo atto di ogni cosa viva, uomini e animali, piante e nuvole, una manifestazione elementare di equilibrio e continuità. L'occupazione dello spazio è la prima prova dell'esistenza».
(Le Corbusier - sottolineando il rapporto tra architettura, scultura e pittura)
L'attualità di questo pensiero ben si addice alle opere realizzate, dall'artista spagnola Mariangeles Guil Làzaro, nel piazzale antistante il Tribunale di Gela. L'ambiente influenza l'opera come dimostra il gioco di luci che ripropone la cultura mediterranea dandoci l'idea di palme e giochi d'artificio tipici delle feste patronali.
L'opera di Guil è realizzata con materiali ferrosi, il ferro è zincato. Enormi e alte lastre di ferro colorato con diverse tonalità: dal verde all'arancio al giallo; dal blu, al verde al rosso. Enormi raggi colorati, un ventaglio di colori che svettano verso l'alto, verso il cielo, quasi a voler rappresentare un atto liberatorio: di pace, serenità e speranza. La stessa artista che parla di fuochi di luce, una luce realizzata con l'uso del colore che dà vita e vitalità all'opera. Le opere di Guil rompono la monotonia, il silenzio di uno spazio che viene vissuto, principalmente, all'interno. Il colore dà vita a questo spazio.

«Taking possession of space is the first act of every living thing, men and animals, plants and clouds, an elementary manifestation of balance and continuity. The occupation of space is the first proof of existence ».
(Le Corbusier - emphasizing the relationship between architecture, sculpture and painting)
The relevance of this thought is well added to works of art, by the Spanish artist Mariangeles Guil Làzaro, in the square in front of the Court of Gela. The environment influences the work as evidenced by the play of lights that re-proposes the Mediterranean culture giving us the idea of ??palm trees and fireworks typical of patronal feasts.
Guil's work is made of ferrous materials, iron is galvanized. Huge and tall colored iron plates with different shades: from green to orange to yellow; from blue, to green to red. Huge colored rays, a range of colors that rise upwards, towards the sky, as if to represent a liberating act: of peace, serenity and hope. The same artist who speaks of fires of light, a light created with the use of color that gives life and vitality to the work. Guil's works break the monotony, the silence of a space that is mainly lived inside. Color gives life to this space.

Wikipedia: Ko Panyi is a fishing village in Phang Nga Province, Thailand, notable for being built on stilts by Malay fishermen. The population consists of 360 families or 1,685 people descended from two seafaring Muslim families from Java.
The settlement at Ko Panyi was established at the end of the 18th century by nomadic Malay fisherman. Ko Panyi is known as Pulau Panji in Malay language. It was during this time that the law limited land ownership solely to people of Thai national origins, and due to this fact the settlement was, for the most part, built on stilts within the protection of the island's bay, providing easy access for fishers. With the increase of wealth for the community, due to the growing tourism industry within Thailand, purchase of land on the island itself became a possibility, and the first structures of relevance were built, a mosque and a freshwater well.

I congratulate everyone on Orthodox Easter!
Image of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. Russia.
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior today is the Cathedral and, in fact, the main temple of Russia. Here the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia celebrates divine services, Bishops' Councils and other church forums meet. The dramatic fate of the temple made it not only a monument to those who fell in 1812 (as originally conceived), but also a testimony to the complex ups and downs in the history of Russia in the XX century. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is on the balance sheet of the Moscow mayor's office, which handed over the temple to the Russian Orthodox Church for unlimited use. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is a memorial temple, it was erected in honor of the victory and in memory of those who fell in the war of 1812. According to tradition, such votive temples were built in honor of church holidays or in honor of a saint. But this temple was erected in the name of the Savior himself. According to the idea of Alexander Vitberg, the first architect of the cathedral, the temple was supposed to be majestic and colossal, and its glory was to surpass that of Peter's Cathedral in Rome.
Construction on the project of Konstantin Ton began in 1839 and was completed only in 1881. During the years of Stalin's regime, the temple was blown up, and in its place the Palace of Soviets was supposed to appear - a huge building crowned with a sculpture of Lenin. The war prevented the implementation of the grandiose idea, and after its end, funds for the Palace were no longer found, and from a political point of view, the structure lost its relevance. In 1960, an outdoor swimming pool "Moscow" appeared on the site of the cathedral, which existed until 1994. In connection with this pool, the water in which was not particularly clean, they recall the legend of a nun who, opposing the construction of a temple on the site of the Alekseevsky Monastery, cursed the construction site and predicted that a huge muddy puddle would be located on the site of the temple.
In the early 90s, already in new Russia, they decided to build the temple anew. The restorer Alexei Denisov carried out painstaking work to restore the historical appearance of the cathedral according to the surviving drawings, drawings and measurements, but due to disagreements about the appearance of the cathedral, it was removed from work. The completion of the temple was supervised by Zurab Tsereteli, who decided to carry out the external decoration of the walls in bronze, although in the history of Russian church architecture there is not a single example when metal was used in this case. The temple was completed, but this is not the same temple that stood here a hundred years ago, despite the outward resemblance. The decoration of the temple was conceived by Ton as a chronicle of the Patriotic War of 1812 in the plots of the Gospel, but now this kind of stone book cannot be read without referring to archival sources.

After a previous property in the mid-1300s the estate passed to the Fusco family and in 1600 it was a Relevance of the Monastery of S. Chiara. Towards the end of the 1800s Ernest William Bechett was advised by Mansi, a Ravellese tailor who worked in England, that the place more panoramic than Ravello, it had reduced to a swarm of brambles and snakes, Beckett came to Italy and fell in love with the place at first sight. With the help of Mansi and local workers it was recovered and transformed into the marvelous villa that can still be enjoyed today, which amazes for its singular beauties and for the variety of furnishings.
Dopo una precedente proprietà ,alla metà del 1300 la tenuta passò ai Fusco e nel 1600 fu pertinenza del Monastero di S.Chiara .Verso fine 1800 Ernest William Beckett fu avvisato da Mansi ,un sarto Ravellese che lavorava in Inghilterra , che il luogo più panoramico di Ravello era ridotto a un nugolo di rovi e di serpi .
Beckett venne in Italia e con l'aiuto del Mansi e di maestranze locali recuperò il tutto nella meravigliosa villa che si può godere ancora oggi ,che stupisce per le singolari bellezze e per la varietà delle suppellettili .
Ya en el año 1080 el rey de Castilla Alfonso VI, promovió la construcción de una catedral de estilo románico en la ciudad de Burgos.
En el año 1219, esa catedral acogió una ceremonia de gran relevancia para el reino de Castilla, la boda del entonces rey de Castilla Fernando III y la princesa germana Beatriz de Suabia.
En el siglo XIII, Burgos ya había sido reconocida como sede episcopal y un importante núcleo comercial, que, además, comenzaba a ganar fama más allá de las fronteras españolas al ser un lugar de paso del Camino de Santiago. Fue entonces cuando el obispo Don Mauricio, quien ofició la ceremonia nupcial de Fernando III y Beatriz de Suabia, le propuso al rey construir una nueva catedral acorde con la creciente importancia que la capital de Castilla merecía y que se levantara en las nuevas tendencias estilísticas europeas; el gótico.
El obispo había estudiado en la Universidad de París, por lo que era conocedor del arte gótico que se estilaba en la arquitectura francesa de la época. También tuvo que emprender un viaje que cruzaba ese país para llegar hasta el Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, donde concertó el matrimonio entre el rey de Castilla y la princesa germana. Es por eso que aprovechó su amistad con el monarca para poder levantar la que hoy es la primera catedral gótica de España.
La catedral empezó a construirse en 1221 siguiendo patrones góticos franceses.se dio por terminada casi cuarenta años después.
En los siglos posteriores, se realizaron importantes añadidos al edificio inicial; las agujas de la fachada principal, la capilla del Condestable y el cimborrio del crucero, elementos del gótico flamígero que dotan al templo de su perfil inconfundible.
En la catedral se conservan obras de artistas extraordinarios, como los arquitectos y escultores de la familia Colonia (Juan, Simón de Colonia y Francisco); el arquitecto Juan de Vallejo, los escultores Gil de Siloé, Felipe Vigarny, Rodrigo de la Haya, Martín de la Haya, Juan de Ancheta y Juan Pascual de Mena, el escultor y arquitecto Diego de Siloé, el rejero Cristóbal de Andino, el vidriero Arnao de Flandes o los pintores Alonso de Sedano, Mateo Cerezo, Sebastiano del Piombo o Juan Ricci, entre otros muchos.
La fachada principal consta de tres cuerpos rematados por dos torres laterales de planta cuadrada. Las agujas caladas de influencia germánica se añadieron en el siglo xv y son obra de Juan de Colonia. El cuerpo inferior fue modificado en el siglo XVIII.
En el exterior sobresalen también las portadas del Sarmental y la Coronería, góticas del siglo XIII, y la portada de la Pellejería, con influencias renacentistas-platerescas del siglo XVI.
La catedral burgalesa fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco el 31 de octubre de 1984. Es la única catedral española que tiene esta distinción de forma independiente, sin estar unida al centro histórico de una ciudad. Es además el templo católico de mayor rango en Castilla y León al tratarse del único templo que siendo catedral metropolitana es a la vez basílica.
In the year 1080, the King of Castile, Alfonso VI, promoted the construction of a Romanesque-style cathedral in the city of Burgos.
In the year 1219, that cathedral hosted a ceremony of great relevance for the kingdom of Castile, the wedding of the then King of Castile Ferdinand III and the German princess Beatriz of Suabia.
In the 13th century, Burgos had already been recognized as an episcopal seat and an important commercial center, which, in addition, was beginning to gain fame beyond the Spanish borders as a stopover on the Camino de Santiago. It was then that Bishop Don Mauricio, who officiated at the wedding ceremony of Ferdinand III and Beatrice of Suabia, proposed to the king that he build a new cathedral in accordance with the growing importance that the capital of Castile deserved and that would follow the new European stylistic trends; the gothic
The bishop had studied at the University of Paris, so he was familiar with the Gothic art that was styled in French architecture of the time. He also had to undertake a journey that crossed that country to reach the Holy Roman Empire, where he arranged the marriage between the king of Castile and the German princess. That is why he took advantage of his friendship with the monarch to be able to build what is today the first Gothic cathedral in Spain.
The new cathedral began to be built in 1221 following French Gothic patterns. It was completed almost forty years later.
In the following centuries, important additions were made to the initial building; the spiers of the main façade, the Constable's chapel and the dome of the transept, elements of flamboyant Gothic that give the temple its unmistakable profile.
In the cathedral, works by extraordinary artists are preserved, such as the architects and sculptors of the Colonia family (Juan, Simón de Colonia and Francisco); the architect Juan de Vallejo, the sculptors Gil de Siloé, Felipe Vigarny, Rodrigo de la Haya, Martín de la Haya, Juan de Ancheta and Juan Pascual de Mena, the sculptor and architect Diego de Siloé, the railing maker Cristóbal de Andino, the glassmaker Arnao de Flandes or the painters Alonso de Sedano, Mateo Cerezo, Sebastiano del Piombo or Juan Ricci, among many others.
The main façade consists of three bodies topped by two side towers with a square plan. The openwork spiers of Germanic influence were added in the 15th century and are the work of Juan de Colonia. The lower body was modified in the 18th century.
On the outside, the Sarmental and Coronería façades, Gothic from the 13th century, and the Pellejería façade, with Renaissance-Plateresque influences from the 16th century, also stand out.
The Cathedral of Burgos, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on October 31, 1984. It is the only Spanish cathedral that has this distinction independently, without being linked to the historic center of a city. It is also the highest-ranking Catholic temple in Castilla y León as it is the only temple that, being a metropolitan cathedral, is also a basilica.
Bermeo, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
La villa de Bermeo es un municipio vizcaíno de la comarca de Busturialdea, en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco, España. Se trata de una de las localidades más pobladas de la comarca de la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai junto con Guernica y Luno, con 16 864 habitantes (INE, 2020).
Fundada en 1236, la villa ostentó el título de Cabeza de Vizcaya desde 1476 hasta 1602, siendo la principal población del Señorío de Vizcaya. Es por ello por lo que Bermeo gozó de ciertos privilegios y por lo que gozaba de mayor relevancia frente al resto de villas en las Juntas Generales de Vizcaya. A esto cabe añadirle las juras que los reyes realizaban en la iglesia de Santa Eufemia cada vez que visitaban la provincia.
Actualmente, se trata de una villa arraigada a la tradición marinera, ya que su economía se basa mayoritariamente en la pesca y en las conservas de pescado.
Posee además diferentes atractivos turísticos tales como la ermita de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, la torre Ercilla (Museo del pescador), la Puerta de San Juan, el casco antiguo, la Atalaya y el manicomio y su acogedor puerto, entre otros.
The town of Bermeo is a Biscayan municipality in the Busturialdea region, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country, Spain. It is one of the most populated towns in the region of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, together with Guernica and Luno, with 16,864 inhabitants (INE, 2020).
Founded in 1236, the town held the title of Head of Vizcaya from 1476 to 1602, being the main population of the Lordship of Vizcaya. That is why Bermeo enjoyed certain privileges and why it enjoyed greater relevance compared to the rest of the towns in the General Meetings of Vizcaya. To this must be added the oaths that the kings made in the church of Santa Eufemia every time they visited the province.
Currently, it is a town rooted in the seafaring tradition, since its economy is based mainly on fishing and canned fish.
It also has different tourist attractions such as the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, the Ercilla tower (Fisherman's Museum), the Puerta de San Juan, the old town, the Atalaya and the asylum and its welcoming port, among others.

En esta idea creativa me he tomado la licencia de incluir esta escultura sobre la arena de una playa al atardecer, y que por supuesto no existia en el lugar...Esta obra, ya utilizada en otra de mis fotos, es en realidad una pequeña figura en bronce (poco mas de medio metro de altura), que se encuentra sobre un pedestal en el acerado de una calle de Aracena (Huelva) Su pequeño tamaño y la ubicación entre dos pequeños naranjos, la hacen casi invisible, no se ve hasta que se está delante de ella. Una estilizada y bella figura en bronce con los cabellos al viento, que a mi parecer merecía mayor relevancia (Desconozco su autor). Pienso que este escenario le sienta mejor.

In this creative idea I have taken the license to include this sculpture on the sand of a beach, which of course did not exist in the place ... This work, already used in another of my photos, is actually a small bronze figure (little more than half a meter high), which is on a pedestal on the sidewalk of a street in Aracena (Huelva) Its small size and the location between two small orange trees, make it almost invisible, it is not seen until you are In front of her. A stylized and beautiful bronze figure with hair blowing in the wind, which in my opinion deserved greater relevance (I do not know its author). I think this scenario suits her better.

The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. It has preserved intact its well-ordered landscape of fields, roads, canals, dykes and settlements, laid out in accordance with classical and Renaissance planning principles. A grid of canals parallels the grid of roads in the Beemster. The grids are offset: the larger feeder canals are offset by approximately one kilometer from the larger roads.
Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

The Belem tower is a defensive tower built in the 16th century at the mouth of the Tagus River. It is built in a style called Manueline or Late Gothic very elaborate and ornate.
Once its defensive function ended, it served many other purposes. It was used as a prison, as a lighthouse and also as a tax collection center to enter the city, warehouse and now, as a tourist attraction. One of the most visited in Portugal along with the monastery of Los Jerónimos.
The influx was so great that when I got to the front row to do the photography, I thought of doing another from another angle, but I was already insistently demanded to return to the bus that was taking us. It's not that this is the best, it's the only one I managed to do. Good thing it went well.
As for editing, I have tried to give relevance to the tower without touching anything of the rest since it does not seem important to me.
I hope you will be benevolent with me, since it is one of the most photographed monuments in the world.
YOU MUST ENLARGE IT TO SEE IT WITH DETAIL.

La torre de Belem es una torre defensiva construida en el siglo 16 en la desembocadura del rio Tajo. Esta construida en un estilo llamado Manuelino o gótico tardío muy elaborado y ornamentado.
Una vez terminada su función defensiva, sirvió para muchos otros menesteres. Se utilizó como prisión, como faro y también como centro de recaudación de impuestos para ingresar a la ciudad, almacén y en la actualidad, como reclamo turístico. Uno de los más visitados en toda Portugal junto con el monasterio de Los Jerónimos.
Es tanta la afluencia, que cuando conseguí llegar a codazos a primera fila para hacer la fotografía, pensé en hacer otra desde otro ángulo, pero ya fui reclamado insistentemente para regresar al bus que nos llevaba. No es que sea la mejor, es la única que logré hacer. Menos mal que salió bien.
En cuanto a la edición, he tratado de darle relevancia a la torre sin tocar nada del resto ya que no me parece importante.
Espero que seáis benévolos conmigo, ya que se trata de uno de los monumentos más fotografiados del mundo.

Asking chatGTP to write a text about Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher:
"The Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher is a small bird species that is native to the forests of South Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive grey head and yellow underparts, which give it its common name. The upperparts of the bird are olive-green in color, and it has a long, thin bill and a short tail.
This species is typically found in the understory of moist, evergreen forests, and is often seen foraging for insects among the foliage. They are not migratory and are resident throughout the year. They are generally solitary birds and are not often seen in flocks. They are known for their melodious and loud calls, which are often heard in the forests where they live.
The population of this species is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to its wide distribution and stable population. However, habitat loss due to deforestation and human activities is a potential threat.
Overall, it is a beautiful and interesting bird that is worth observing for birders and nature enthusiasts."

The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. It has preserved intact its well-ordered landscape of fields, roads, canals, dykes and settlements, laid out in accordance with classical and Renaissance planning principles. A grid of canals parallels the grid of roads in the Beemster. The grids are offset: the larger feeder canals are offset by approximately one kilometer from the larger roads.
Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

If you need to ask what relevance the title has to the image, you've probably landed on this stream by mistake. 😯
...(in the relevance of the absurd war in which he is dragged into) …
I know that anthropologists and other professors of political science assure us that wars are inherent to humanity as it has been structured into clans, societies and diverse and bellicose civilizations, but, after all, it must be said : WHAT BULLSHIT, THE WAR !!! Calamitous bullshit that I am happy to ridicule by caricaturing it.
Shouldn't humanity start all over again ? But could she ?
Fantassin qui est sensé y croire… (à la pertinence de la guerre absurde dans laquelle on l’entraîne) …
Je sais bien que les anthropologues et autres professeurs de sciences politiques nous assurent que les guerres sont inhérentes à l’humanité telle qu’elle s’est structurée en clans, sociétés et civilisations diverses et belliqueuses, mais il faut malgré tout le dire : QUELLE CONNERIE, LA GUERRE !!! Connerie calamiteuse que je me fais un plaisir de ridiculiser en la caricaturant.
L’humanité ne devrait-elle pas tout recommencer de zéro ? Mais le pourrait-elle ?
You may ask what relevance does the Moon have? well it is in space,( and i cannot take a picture of Earth ) orbiting Earth, in an ellipse, as in turn we orbit the Sun again in an ellipse.... Earth time is measured by its rotation, and its orbit around the Sun..... and given that we have time zones on Earth, how does it equate in space, particularly outside our Solar system ?
It quickly becomes mind blowing in it's complexity,..............
The last image i uploaded, prior to this one, was taken in 1990, we are now in 2018, time flies ......
A beautiful track title by the Handsome Family, Fallen Peaches. The only relevance is the sense of movement in this photo, and the beautiful peach colour , so that's good enough.
Main shrine of Togakushi Chuusha (戸隠中社) and the Seiryuuden (青龍殿) treasury buried in snow.
Seiryuuden houses artefacts and documents regarding the history of Togakushi.
Togakushi used to be a major centre of Shugendou (修験道) and/or Mountain Worship (山岳信仰) that is a syncretism of Buddhism and Shintoism. Kuzuryuu Ookami (九頭龍大神) or Nine-headed Dragon, which is the original god of Togakushi who brings rain and good harvest, had been worshipped along with Buddha. Kuzuryuu was believed to reside in the cave with rock door on the slope of the Togakushi mountains.
After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the Meiji government biased toward narrow-minded nationalism and Shintou fundamentalism ordered the separation of Shintoism from Buddhism. Temples in Togakushi were ordered to become Shintou shrines; Buddhist statues were removed, and the gods related to the Amano Iwato myth that has a relevance to the imperial rule were newly enshrined.
In short, Togakushi was taken over by the Meiji government for the state control of Shintou. It is not a history to be praised.

"And if you are not able to make your life
the way you wish it was
at least you should try this
as much as you can; Do not humiliate it
in the excessive relevance of the world,
in the excessive gestures and conversations.
Do not humiliate it by transporting it,
turning it often around and exposing it
in the relationships' and fellowships'
daily immunity
until it become a foreign, burdensome one."

This is from a photo of a possum that my dog ran up in a tree late one night. Possums look different in Florida. So, of course, I took photos using a Night Photo App and a flashlight. Very lousy quality but one seemed usable. I am almost always hand painting in my "processing" technique. But this took a very long time and I had to let this critter rest a couple of times. As usual, I had to choose from a half dozen "final" versions.
This possum in his resilience and bravery reminded me of this song. An old hippie anthem that still has great relevance even after 45 years. No matter what happens, possums will probably outlive mankind. Richie Havens version of the song, below: ⤵️
Possum = Opossum, lol ! I spent way too many years in Kentucky... I haven't ever eaten possum, that I know of...

The works of artist Olafur Eliasson explore the relevance of art in the world at large. Born in 1967, Eliasson grew up in Iceland and Denmark, where he studied from 1989 to 1995 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In 1995, he moved to Berlin and founded Studio Olafur Eliasson, which today comprises a large team of craftsmen, architects, archivists, researchers, administrators, cooks, programmers, art historians, and specialised technicians.
Is the title of the new single just "dropped" by Bob Dylan. A 17-minute long song about the Kennedy assassination and described as a postcard from the apocalypse.
Some have made the link between the timing and meaning of the song and the current pandemic crisis. I'm not going there!
The title really has no relevance to the image apart from the long bow that it is from my archives and I was supposed to be there last week at one of my favourite places that I can no longer visit due to the current apocalypse!
But I'm not complaining. Happy to do my bit to keep us safe.
Sorry I am slow on commenting. Trying to rest my shoulder from an injury that is giving me grief.
